After saying that, Qin Yunshu flicked his hand and motioned for Mama to leave, and then raised his feet and entered the Jiaofang Palace.

Xie Man'er still followed what the doctor said, and took care of the mainstay, lying in bed most of the time, and coming out for a little walk when the weather was good.

"Yun Shu."

With a light call, Xie Man'er lifted the curtain, compared with the national banquet, the whole person lost a lot of weight, and her complexion was not as good as before.

I took care of my body and became like this.

"I'm coming to see you."

As he spoke, Qin Yunshu walked to the table in the room, poured a cup of hot water, turned around and handed it to Xie Man'er in a few steps.

"When I saw you this time, not only did you not grow some meat, but you lost weight, don't think about it."

The steaming heat came out, and the palms of her hands were warm, Xie Man'er looked down at the white water, the reflection of the water surface, and she saw herself.

"Yun Shu, I can't go out, I don't know the situation in Xie Mansion."

Gradually, her eyebrows twisted, how could she not think about it? It was her family, and her grandmother looked good, but she had a heart disease and couldn't be stimulated.

"At present, the Xie family is very good. As soon as Lord Xie left, the cabinet was empty, and there was no suitable person to replace the first assistant of the cabinet. ”

Qin Yunshu said slowly, it takes time to pick someone to replace Xie Yunzhi, and it can't be found overnight.

Moreover, the emperor has left the cabinet power vacant and taken it into his own hands.

"I ......"

Xie Man'er's lips opened slightly, her hand clenched the teacup, and she said in a low voice, "I'm afraid." ”

The major events in her life are decided by her little uncle for her, and whatever he says is what he says.

Now, he has been transferred to Liuzhou, who should she rely on in the future?

The Xie family has no backbone, and all the children are just like her, afraid. And she, even more frightened.

At least those people are still in the Xie family, accompanied by relatives, and she is alone in the deep palace.

For people who are accustomed to dependence, sudden changes are like a blow to the head, and she is shocked and anxious day by day.

At the same time, there is a mixture of worries about the family.

"If the emperor is here, are you afraid?"

Qin Yunshu asked in a low voice, his right hand stretched out to hold Xie Man'er, and pushed away her fingers that were clenching the teacup.

"The Emperor's ......"

Xie Man'er looked far away and muttered to herself.

When he first had a body, he came to see it every day, ignoring the harem concubines, and stayed in the Jiaofang Hall every day.

Even she felt that he was different, and at that moment, at least in her opinion, he was spoiled to the extreme.

However, before the envoys of the Zhou State were about to enter Beijing, it was different.

She kept wondering, what did she do wrong and bore him?

At this moment, footsteps sounded from outside, more than one person, Qin Yunshu patted Xie Man'er's hand, "I'll take a look." ”

With that, she got up and walked out, and when the door of the outer hall was opened, she saw her grandfather Sun standing in the court.

"Mama, you go in and accompany the mother."

"Yes."

Mama immediately received the order, and soon entered the temple gate.

In the court, there were only two people, Qin Yunshu and Sun Gonggong.

Gonggong Sun saw things thoroughly and knew why Mrs. Dingbei Hou called him to Jiaofang Hall at this moment.

When the lady in charge came, he was serving tea to the emperor. The emperor naturally knew about this, and ordered him to go to the Jiaofang Palace.

"Mrs. Hou, the slave knows what you want to ask."

And this thought, the emperor also knows.

"Father-in-law Sun, Prince Zhou came to me before he left Beijing and mentioned General Qiu."

Qin Yunshu stopped, and found that Grandpa Sun's expression had not changed at all, and he had no doubts or shocks.

So, know early in the morning.

She didn't go around, and went straight to the point, "When is the emperor going to imprison General Qiu?" After all, if the generals of a country do not return for a long time, Prince Zhou will send an envoy to inquire, and hope that Gonggong Sun will tell him and think twice. ”

The last two words were not said to Grandpa Sun, but to the emperor.

Gonggong Sun served three generations of emperors, and the ministers in the court were also friendly with Qin Taifu.

He didn't go around, and deliberately lowered his voice, "Mrs. Hou, the slave advises you, don't meddle in this matter, whether it's the Qin family or the Hou Mansion, it's not okay." ”

The voice was deep and solemn, and he couldn't really see what the emperor was thinking about General Qiu.

But one thing is certain, very stubborn.

It is very easy to be angry when it comes to the emperor's stubbornness, not to mention the eventful times now.

"You don't have to worry about Prince Zhou sending envoys to Qi, at that time, the emperor will have his own measure. The minions can only tell you that General Qiu is safe. ”

After that, Gonggong Sun waved the dust in his hand, glanced at the Jiaofang Palace, and left the front road, "The slave will persuade the emperor to go to the Jiaofang Palace." ”

Qin Yunshu stood in the courtroom and watched Gonggong Sun slowly walk away.

As she expected, Qiu Tong was imprisoned by the emperor, and she didn't come to the Jiaofang Palace for so long, and she didn't go to other bedrooms.

Perhaps, she should boldly guess that Qiu Tong is in the Qi Palace.

Thinking of this, Qin Yunshu's eyes became more and more complicated, and his lips gradually pursed.

She stood in the courtyard for a moment, and finally, she collected her thoughts and immediately entered the Jiaofang Palace.

All day, she slept with her, and in the evening, when Xie Man'er rested, she left.

The moment she left the palace gate, she saw the golden dragon robe shining in the distance, and entered the courtyard gate in a blink of an eye.

Qin Yunshu took a few steps forward and saluted sideways, "The courtiers see the emperor." ”

Chu Rin flicked his hand, only the word was low, "Up." ”

So saying, he entered the temple gate. At this time, Qin Yunshu saw Grandpa Sun.

"Mrs. Hou."

"Grandpa Sun, thank you."

Qiu Tong's whereabouts and situation involve the emperor and cannot be easily leaked. Being able to tell the truth is trust.

"I don't dare to take the word Xie, Mrs. Wanghou remembers what the slave said."

Qin Yunshu nodded, and then walked out of the Jiaofang Palace, and the moment he left the Qi Palace, a slight light rain drifted in the dim sky, reflecting the entire palace in a hazy manner.

"Qiu Tong, deep court, I hope you are well."

With that, she lifted her feet and walked out of the palace gate.

This night, she didn't mention to Xiao Jinyan where Qiu Tong was, but clearly told him that this matter was not suitable for investigation.

If Prince Zhou asks, just say the word Qi Huang.

Xiao Jinyan smiled and held her hand, but did not speak, and finally under her every inquiry, he nodded and snuggled up to her.

So far, no one has traced Qiu Tong's whereabouts, and he just knows it.

Out of the New Year, the traders who returned to their hometowns from Beijing before the spring came back one after another.

The doors of the shops were open, with red flags and ribbons, shouting back and forth, and Qi Jing was lively again.

During this period, Qin Yunshu chose a courtyard with three entrances and three exits for Liu Yi, which was the same as the Hou Mansion, located east of Qijing, five streets away from the Hou Mansion.

It is an ordinary house, and soon after it was set, the central people counted the days.

Coincidentally, on the day Liu Yi got married, Qin Yanran originally said that she would definitely come for the joint entrance examination of the six academies, but who knew that the days would collide.

Waiting for Liu Yi to return to the door with Sun Guang, the results of the joint examination will be released.

Dingbei Hou Mansion, the main hall

Qin Yunshu asked the steward to wait at the release office early in the morning, and immediately replied as soon as there was news.

This waited for a long time, and finally, when the steward came, Qin Yanran and Zhang Qian also came.

Qin Yunshu immediately got up from the soft collapse, and seeing that Qin Yanran's face was as usual, Xu was off the list.

After all, I haven't been in Yuelu for a year, and it is very difficult to pass the joint examination of the six major academies, with only fifty places.

"Sister Shu."

Qin Yanran suddenly laughed and winked at her playfully, "I really didn't expect that I was recruited." Fiftieth place, just right! ”
